The Evil Empire


When you see this New York Yankees emblem you automatically think greatness. You think of the greatest baseball team and players to ever play the game. Going From Babe Ruth to Mickey Mantle and even greats today such as Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriquez. The Yankees to me represent baseball all together. When people hear the word baseball I’m sure probably near 90 percent think of the Yankees right away.

The New York Yankees franchise started in 1903. Through the years the Yankees have won 26 world series, the most of any team today by a long shot. The biggest name in baseball and maybe in sports Babe Ruth played for the ever so dominant Yankees.

This Yankee emblem that I chose to write about has such a history behind it. It is so much more then an N and Y. It represents greatness, respect, power, baseball in all. People can hate the Yankees but when it comes down to who is the best team in baseball and who has pretty much always been, people will always say the Yankees. It will always be this way because they over and over again prove their selves, year after year. From personal experience I have never liked the Yankees but they sure do have my respect. I know there the best but I hate admitting that. When I see that N and Y overlapping on somebody’s hat or shirt I think of the greatest baseball team to ever play.
